Can West Indies Legends beat the South Africa Legends in the WCL 2025 2nd Match?
When we look at the result from the last time, which happened in 2024, the West Indies Legends were the winners as they won the match by six wickets and five balls to spare. Basically, the universe boss, Chris Gayle, was the Man of the Match in that game. While chasing 175 runs, Gayle scored 70 runs in 40 balls, which included eight fours and six massive sixes.
The West Indies Legends team has some powerful hitters, and in reply, South Africa has a few as well. They have the likes of AB de Villiers, who can smash the ball anywhere. Our prediction for the winner of this game is the West Indies Legends.
Playing XI – West Indies Champions vs South Africa Champions
When we look at the expected starting eleven of both teams, there are all players available for selection. There is just one doubt, and it is about the South African spinner, Imran Tahir.
